Abstract :

Aim: The illnesses of the skin and also its extensions generated with fungus are referred to as shallow mycoses. This research was undertaken since the pervasiveness of fungus can fluctuate from time to time.
to determine the incidence of various clinical dermatomycoses including dermatomycotic mould diseases, as well as the etiological agents behind these diseases. The research comprised 570 medically confirmed instances of superficial mycoses that visited tertiary care facilities during a two-year period. Skin scrapings, nail clippings, and hair samples were gathered, mounted, and cultured using KOH. Macroscopic inspection of the culture, tease mount, slide culture, and the Germ tube examination were used to identify the species. Examining the Wood’s light had also been done.
Methods: Men (72.97%) and those in the age range of 21 to 30 years (34.23%) had more superficial mycoses than females. In dermatophytosis, tinea corporis 165/472 (35.76%) and tinea cruris 147/472 (31.93%) were the two most prevalent clinical types. Using direct microscopy, 54.05 percent of cases proved positive, and 63.8 percent of cases had positive cultures. Dermatophytes were identified in 81.12% of the 357 culture-positive cases, followed by yeasts (17.93%) and non-dermatophyte molds (4.97%). Trichophyton rubrum 158/287 (56.33%) was the most prevalent isolate amongst dermatophytosis. NDM included several Aspergillus species, Hortaea werneckii, Cladophialophora carrion, and Exophiala jeanselmei.
Results: It was discovered that non-dermatophytic fungi remain similarly developing as a significant source of superficial mycoses, in addition to dermatophytes. Exophiala jeanselmei and Cladophialophora carrionii are two uncommon NDMs that may have a causal role in tinea corporis. The illnesses of the skin and also its extensions generated with fungus are referred to as shallow mycoses. This research was undertaken since the pervasiveness of fungus can fluctuate from time to determine the incidence of various clinical dermatomycoses including dermatomycotic mould diseases, as well as the etiological agents behind these diseases. The research comprised 570 medically confirmed instances of superficial mycoses that visited tertiary care facilities during a two-year period. Skin scrapings, nail clippings, and hair samples were gathered, mounted, and cultured using KOH. Macroscopic inspection of the culture, tease mount, slide culture, also the Germ tube test were used to identify the species. Examining the Wood’s light had also been done.

Trichophyton rubrum 158/287 (56.33%) was the most prevalent isolate amongst dermatophytosis. NDM included several Conclusion: Aspergillus species, Horatian Wernicke, Cladophialophora caring, and Exophilic. It was discovered that non-dermatophytid fungi are also developing by way of a significant source of superficial mycoses, in addition to dermatophytes. Exophilic gentlemen and Cladophialophora carinii are two uncommon NDMs that may have a causal role in tinea corporis.
